T-Max Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I've only had my Spec 1 T-mag for about 9 months now and i have got through 4 freewheels!!! The first time i replaced it myself (ACS Claws) and it lasted about 2 months. So i thought . So i took it to my almost local bike shop (broad ribbs) and had them fit a new one... This got busted about 3 months later, and so on and so on AHHH! hahaha. So i don't bore you too much more... Does anyone know of a decent freewheel, that doesn't cost the earth, that won't break after 5 minutes?!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.loves.boys Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 There is no such thing as idestructable. Especially for trials anyway ENo or tensile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolty Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I have a Eno I really like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theone2be Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I'd go for a tensile as eno's dont seem to be cheap. Was the Acs welded? Mabey a welded one might last longer, i don't know for sure I ride stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

court Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 hii have just changed from a profile to a tensile and you really can tell the difference between the engagements and it hasn't skipped once yet whereas the profile skipped quite a lot when i first got it. the tensile feels more solid in my opinion.if you have £35 i would definitely get one. thanks court Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeNNy Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Maybe you didnt tighten the freewheel everytime it comes loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomHero Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Get an eno if you can afford it. if anything does go wrong you can always replace any part on it.If you dont have the money get a tensile although they dont have sealed bearings they are very good for the money.

python_man Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 the new tensile freewheels are meant to be quite good and quite cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
